Wow Jamie, that is properly roadworn. Like others have said, leave the electrics alone. Give it a clean,,,, play and enjoy. It's certainly an instrument you can gig and not worry about it getting a dink or two.

We have a gear porn forum for this very thing

Good plan Lozz. I'm gigging that night, so giving it a miss though.

Hello and welcome, hope you enjoy the site.

Thanks for posting, an enjoyable start to my day

[quote name='jaybass 70' timestamp='1390813339' post='2349680'] Dunno about the physics to be honest, wouldn't hanging a guitar cause a bit of stress at the neck/body joint due to the actual weight of the guitar ? (applies to bolt on necks, not neck through) [/quote] Think you are worrying unnecessarily, after all, they hang on straps when we play em.

Great work, good to see a bass getting a make over and a new lease of life.

There are a few of us with 70's Fenders for sale at the moment on the forum. Most of us Bass Chatters are friendly, trustworthy and I would think happy to arrange a demo. Go check them out Good luck and enjoy the search.

Good score. My daughter had one of these a couple of years back and it played well, nice and light.

Your Dad sounds like a fine and generous chap . You say you can't sell the first one, so get that one sorted and playable. Think my choice after that, would be to keep the G&L. As you say, underrated. Have to agree, they sound huge and very versatile. Good luck with it and the impeding arrival of baby machines.

I regularly checkout his site, he does get some nice instruments. Enjoy your relic.

Love the look of that.. Bet it will sound damned fine too. Hope you are happy together

Very handsome

It surprises me just how many audience members delight in the sound of a cow bell. Quite often at DefunkT gigs, there is much wooping and cheering when the cowbell is unleashed during Gaga's Bad Romance. the tin whistle causes a similar reaction in Groove is in the Heart.

What Stinson said. Bass Doc has been my first port of call on a fair few occasions, always got me sorted.

My deluxe that you can see in the avatar has the MM pup at the bridge. It does add some flexibility and I use it when playing at home but whenever I use it for gigs/rehearsals I always seem to end up just using the Precision pup. I suppose because I like the P bass sound All things considered I don't think it's a mod I would bother with, unless of course, you don't want it to sound all P like.
